operation  contrasting valkyrie   
     in the  sixties. the  central    
  intelligence  agency "cia" release  
   aerosolized  selatenine  over  a   
  jupiter equinox concert,  creating  
  the largest secret paradigm shift   
   that the  world has ever  seen.  
  
                                          
 the jupiter equinox* concert is part  of 
 a  festival  in black tickle arranged by 
 a group called  epicenter of love. there 
 is  no   entrance   but   visitors   are 
 expected to help  with maintenance. food 
 and  drink  is  shared.  many bands  are 
 playing  over the four day course of the 
 festival, and the stage  is open between 
 scheduled   concerts.   jupiter equinox, 
 while an unknown  act, has a prestigious 
 timeslot at  eight in the evening on the 
 third  day,  which  is  friday.       
                                          
 eight  is  also  when the plane used  to 
 spread   the   aerosol  lifts   off.  it 
 arrives at the  festival about a quarter 
 past,  sound   masked  by  the  concert. 
 around    when   the   first   wave   of 
 selatenine   must   have   reached   the 
 audience, the song comes to a  tense but 
 quiet  movement,  and  the  lead  singer 
 walks   to  the  front   of  the  stage. 
                                          
 she says, with  a  crystalline voice: "i 
 have something to tell  you. i am not  a 
 human being.  i am  not an  animal  or a 
 plant.  i  have  been sent  to deliver a 
 message to you.  a  message of hope. you 
 are not  alone.  there  are other beings 
 in  the  universe.  there  is  life  out 
 there,  life  that  is  reaching  out  a 
 hand. and it's time to take  that  hand. 
 to  reach out toward that hand  and grab 
 it it. it is time  to come home. you are 
 going   home.   you  are  going   home." 
                                          
 the   singer  stands  there  for  a  few 
 moments,  her hand  raised  in the  air, 
 before the  rest of  the band  kicks  in 
 and the  music  builds  to  a crescendo. 
 the crowd  erupts.  and  then  something 
 else  erupts  as  well.  a  concert-goer 
 describes   it:   "suddenly,  the  music 
 seams  broader,  more  colorful.  i  can 
 somehow see  it,  and i  feel the others 
 seeing it, and  i see  it  through their 
 eyes  as  well.  meanwhile i'm  dancing, 
 and  i  can feel  my body as  i've never 
 done before,  i am  aware of  each  cell 
 and  each  molecule,  all  vibrating  in 
 unison.  and  it's   all  going  faster, 
 building  up  to something,  waking up." 
                                          
 people start  forming  circles,  holding 
 hands  and  dancing.  some  are  crying. 
 some are  laughing. some  are screaming. 
                                          
 and then -  a  flutter  - and  something 
 gives.   a    shockwave   of   reversing 
 polarity  in   the   ether,   and   like 
 butterflies  getting hit  by  a burst of 
 wind,  the  third eye opens for everyone 
 in the audience. and it becomes a  chain 
 reaction,  quickly  spreading across the 
 festival area.  within  seconds there is 
 a   global   blackout.  festival   goers 
 regain  their  memories  around  a  week 
 later,  those  in  the  nearby  town  of 
 black tickle  after  a  few   days,   in 
 montreal  for  the  evening, the rest of 
 america  maybe  an  hour.           
                                          
 and  thus,  the   population   of  earth 
 has  kind  of  left  it's  materialistic 
 baseline,   only   that  most   do   not 
 remember                             it. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * there's an interesting aspect to  
   the  "jupiter equinox"  act.  it   
   seems  there   was   never   any   
  jupiter equinox concerts before or  
  after the one in black tickle. the  
   lead  singer (also  colloquially   
  referred to as jupiter) seemed  to  
  immediately disappear (for  a long  
  while she was thought to have been  
   a cia  agent,  but a later  foia   
  release refuted this). for obvious  
  reasons, many were looking for any  
   trace  of  the  band,  but  none   
   were fruitful.                     
                                      
  recently, however,  some attention  
  has been drawn to juniper helding,  
  a sixteen year old pop singer from  
  england who  has a  very  striking  
   similarity...
